At Mahindra, we can proudly say that Corporate Social Responsibility is a way of life. Our redefined 'Core Purpose' is to "challenge conventional thinking and innovatively use all our resources to drive positive change in the lives of our stakeholders and communities across the world, to enable them to RISE". Our CSR team works diligently with the Rural Authorities and NGO Partners for implementing sustainable projects like skill development, women empowerment, Plantations drives, Cleanliness Drives to name a few in fourteen villages adopted by MWCJ surrounding our campus. Most of projects are more than five years old, and I am very proud when I see the positive change around me"
